tavaraluovutuksina

Tavaraluovutuksina is a Finnish term that literally means transfers of goods or deliveries of goods. It is used mainly in legal, commercial, and tax contexts to indicate that the performance under a contract consists of delivering tangible goods rather than providing a service. The word combines tavara (goods) and luovutus (transfer or conveyance).

In contract law and commercial practice, tavaraluovutuksina denotes the form in which a contract is carried out—by handing over goods to the buyer. The transfer of possession or title often occurs at the moment of delivery, as defined by the agreement or applicable law. This concept helps distinguish a goods delivery from other performances that may involve services.

In taxation, especially in Finland’s value-added tax system, determining whether a transaction is a tavaraluovutus can affect how VAT is accounted for. The classification can influence the place of supply, the timing of taxation, and invoicing requirements, since goods and services may have different tax treatments.

Practical use: contracts and procurement documents may specify that the supplier will perform tavaraluovutuksina by delivering goods to a designated location, with risk and ownership transfer terms outlined in the contract or by statute.
